What is a School Guidance & Counseling Program?

School counseling programs are essential for students to achieve optimal personal growth, acquire positive social skills, set appropriate career goals, and realize full academic potential to become productive contributing members of the 21^st Century.

How can parents/guardians contact the school counselor?

You may schedule an appointment with the counselor at any time during the school year by calling the counselor directly. Each member of the Peoria District Guidance team plays a part in this process.

When should a parent or guardian contact the school counselor?

If at any time there is a concern for a child, at school or at home, please do not hesitate to see the school counselor.

Common concerns that a school counselor addresses:

ü Changes in behavior at school or at home

ü Academic issues

ü Bullying

ü Friendship

ü Anger

ü Death of a family member or a pet

ü Family changes

ü College preparation
